Mazzetti Grappa di Barolo Grappa 700ml
Mazzetti Grappa di Barolo converts the leftover pomace of Barolo’s Nebbiolo grapes into a highly aromatic distilled spirit that preserves the grape’s intense botanical and fruity character in a ready-to-drink format. Sourced directly from the Langhe vineyards of Piedmont, this 700ml bottling is carefully distilled to isolate the delicate volatiles of the Nebbiolo skins, delivering a clean, potent expression that mirrors the structural backbone of the region’s renowned red wine.
Tasting Notes: Expect an open bouquet of dried rose, wild cherry, violet, and subtle tar, grounded by earthy and mineral undertones. The medium-bodied palate moves smoothly with a steady thermal rise, restrained texture, and a clean delivery. It concludes with a dry, lingering finish that maintains the wine-like elegance expected from premium Italian grappa.
Suggested Food Pairings: This spirit thrives when served alongside rich, protein-heavy, or deeply flavored courses that balance its alcoholic brightness. Pair neat pours with aged cheese selections like Parmigiano-Reggiano, Pecorino, or locally produced Castelmagno. The herbal notes cut through fatty cured meats, wild boar ragù, and braised beef, while the floral aroma complements earthy dishes such as white truffle risotto or porcini pasta. Finish the evening with a small measure alongside bittersweet chocolate, almond pastries, or strong espresso for a traditional Italian digestivo experience.
Filled to a standard 700ml volume, this expression offers a transparent window into Nebbiolo’s aromatic potential without wood influence or sweetness adjustments, maintaining the honest, classically styled Piedmontese profile established by the Mazzetti house.
